I'm Michelle, Senior Occupational Therapist with Wattle Tree.
I'm passionate about supporting children and families in their earliest years. The years when we are finding our way as parents, when our little ones are growing and becoming their unique selves, and learning skills for life.
For 15 years I've been a Paediatric OT, and I genuinely love it. I'm also a Mum. I understand the beautiful mess of parenting; the joy, love, challenges and all the dirty laundry that it brings.
